2023 Mission Family

 

 

The Davis Family

At our first visit with our obstetrician, Lance and I were excited and shocked to find out that we were expecting twins! The first few months of our pregnancy progressed relatively smoothly, unfortunately at our first visit with our neonatal specialist a heart abnormality brought attention to a possible issue with our babies’ hearts. For the remainder of our pregnancy, we spent time being monitored by both a neonatal specialist as well as a neonatal cardiologist who monitored the twins’ hearts. At 32 weeks, I went in for my routine visit with our obstetrician only to find that I was in labor. I was admitted to the hospital and began receiving medicine to help the boys’ lungs as well as attempt to stop the labor. However, we were unable to prevent labor from continuing and the twins were born via emergency c-section and were immediately taken to the NICU. For the next 3 weeks, our babies received care to help them breathe, eat, and spend time under the bili lights while also having their hearts monitored. Our boys are now happy healthy 3-year-olds! We will be forever grateful for the mission of the March of Dimes and their research that helps so many babies from their earliest moments and without this research our life and lives of our boys could be very different today. We are very excited to be able to share our story and promote the mission of the March of Dimes to continue to promote the best outcomes for all babies!
